When my husband and looked for our 3rd printer in 2 years I decided we would look for something besides HP. Thank God. This printer cartridge compared to HP exceeds the standard. HP cartridge would print 65-80 pages top to bottom. Brother LC 61 series can print up 300+ pages. (yes I print at least 10 pages a day). I got to say this thing lasts! Do Not be swayed by a High End HP printer that can constantly breaks. This print cartridge is worth every dollar I paid for it. I am an extreme couponer and I cannot live without my printer. This cartridge paid for itself 5 times over.
